**Warning***

One of ELHT's amazing Community Midwives has brought this to our attention, after seeing this promoted as a cute idea for babies. Please, please, please do not do this! Babies are too little to wear a mask, and this design looks like it would increase the risk of suffocation.

The Lullaby Trust advises that "We are not aware of any advice for babies to wear masks, whether they are infected or not. There is a potential risk of suffocation and other hazards with doing this. The latest Government guidance says that Children under 3 yrs do not need to wear masks."
